Outside These Lines

There is a moment
When I'm watching
When it hits me -
The everything
You have overcome
And endured
And accomplished
To be
Where you are
Right now.
It resonates
So strongly with me
That, in fact,
I must sit back
And take a moment
In the midst of
All this beauty
And intrigue
That captures me -
This everything -
To sit and breathe
And know
As tears linger
Somewhere down near
My toes - deep inside
Where no one knows -
I am proud
And I'm amazed...
Please, can it always
Be this way?
